State Route 14 likely closed until end of the week

CEDAR CITY - Authorities expect State Route 14 to reopen by the end of the week.

The road has been closed since Friday because of mud slides caused by the excessive spring runoff.

"It's a major headache," Utah Department of Transportation District Engineer Scott Munson said. "Everyone wants the road open, and we're doing our best to make it safe to open it."

The goal is to open the road by the end of the day Friday, but Munson said officials can't promise that yet. They have to review progress on the problem areas.

There are signs at the mouth of the canyon indicating the road closure, but traffic is allowed to pass if the destination is Rusty's Ranch House or Milt's Stage Shop, restaurants that are located outside the problem area on SR-14.
